Could you imagine taking the green line in from Brockton? That would take 3 days.

I will say that rhe GLX has made me realize how fast it can actually go when there aren't tight turns and it doesn't have to wait at lights.

GLX has some disappointing slow zones though at times. It seems like it bottle necks around Lechmere with the Union Sq Branch. And the end of the Line at Tuffs was slow asf the first time I went; hopefully they've figured out how to get trains in and out quicker.

It's lovely overall though and I wish we had extensions like it planned every 5 years to actually get some good transit going. And a big investment in ongoing maintenance to ensure we don't end up shutting down lines for a month like we did last year.

It already takes one and a half on the red from Braintree. So fair point.
